Spring Cleanse and Detox

Spring is the perfect time to hit the reset button and embark on a cleanse or detox. The intention of a cleanse is to give your body a break and allow the organs of elimination; your liver, kidneys and bowels, a rest to help repair and restore your body while flushing it with vital and alive nutrients.

Activate Your Day and Feel Buckin’ Great

You may have noticed a new word that has crept in; Activated. This doesn’t mean that your nuts have a fuller social life or better PB than you do, it means it’s been through a process called activation.

Featured Foodies - Green Kitchen Stories, David Frenkiel & Luise Vindah

"I (David) remember baking blueberry muffins with my mom when I was quite young. I believed that I almost baked them myself even though my mom actually did most of the work. I basically just got to pour in the blueberries and stir the bowl. And now, I am doing the exact same thing with our children (although my blueberry muffin recipe is a little different than my mom’s)."

Sustainable Packaging

Sustainability is and always has been one the main principles of Loving Earth. This is something we are always trying to improve on and work closely with our packaging suppliers to develop better ways of producing. So, here's what we actually do...

Featured Foodie - Wholesome Cook, Martyna Angell

"I was born and raised in Poland and seasonal real food was a big part of my life ever since I can remember. In summer we’d forage for wild blueberries on the way from the beach and make blueberry dumplings in late afternoon. In fall we’d get up at the crack of dawn to go wild mushroom picking then spend the best part of the evening cleaning, drying, cooking and preserving the nautre’s bounty."

Featured Foodies - Raw-Lishious, Tori Fleuren

I am a huge advocate for Fresh Local Produce. (Support your local!). Rain, hail, or shine, you will find me at the farmers market buying my fruit and veg for the week.

Featured Foodie: Holly Shelley - Paradise Pantry

"I always have to have a good walk and stretching session everyday. Plenty of water and real homemade food otherwise I get grumpy. I prioritise a bit of down time in my day, whether it be taking photos, cooking something special, reading my favourite magazines, just sitting and listening to music or cuddling my puppy Blaze. You end up happier and more productive for the rest of the day when you do."

Featured Foodie: Ashley Alexander - Gather & Feast

"I spent a lot of my early years learning in the kitchen. Mum enjoyed teaching my brother, sister and I to cook from a young age, preparing three course meals for dinner parties by the time we were 12 (well played Mum, well played). I am very thankful for all the valuable time spent and the lessons we learnt. Mum always taught us to cook using natural and healthy ingredients and instilled in us the value of whole and organic foods. (Vegan ice­cream for the win!) Thanks Mum!"

Guilt & Conscious Eating – Snacking & Breakfasts

So often we see products in our industry advertised as ‘guilt free’, illustrating just how problematic concepts around food and health can be. What is it that inspires ‘guilt’ around what we eat?
